U.S. carrier T-Mobile left everyone behind to become the first network provider in the country to release the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge last week. The carrier did it again on Monday, rolling out the latest Android firmware version for the Samsung Galaxy S5.

According to SamMobile, the new update is expected to include performance improvements, support for RAW and lower ISO values for third-party camera applications, and a number of bug fixes. The firmware update, which takes the build number to G900TUVU1FOF6, is currently rolling out over-the-air (OTA), while users who have not received the OTA update can manually check for it through the device's settings.

T-Mobile has not yet announced the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update, and there is no official changelog available at the moment, according to Android Central.

Here are the firmware details:

Model: SM-G900T

Version: Android 5.1.1

Changelist: 90673209

Last week, T-Mobile began releasing the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, bringing key bug fixes and new features to the devices. The firmware added a simplified exposure control system in the camera app, and brought a new wallpaper parallax effect.

In addition, the update also brought changes to the user interface, including the option to remove the S Finder and Quick Connect buttons from the notifications area. The Guest Mode is another significant feature included in the update.

Meanwhile, users of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in France also started receiving the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update on Monday. However, the update, which is 623MB in size, does not fix the memory handling issue, which was recently discovered to have affected the Galaxy S6, SamMobile reported.
